The History Channel has a summary of tragic events that make September 11th memorable.

In Wisconsin history on this date, in 1903, auto racing began at The Milwaukee Mile. Here’s more from the Wisconsin Historical Society:

On this date William Jones of Chicago won a five-lap speed contest, setting the first track record with a 72 second, 50 mph lap in the process. The Milwaukee Mile was originally a private horse track, in existence since at least 1876, and is the oldest, continuously operating auto racing facility in the world.
